The distance a falling object falls in some amount of time is

        D = 1/2  a  T²

If this flowerpot falls off a balcony on Earth, then 'a' is the
acceleration of gravity on Earth, and we can write

      85 m  =  1/2 (9.8 m/s²) T²

Divide each side by  4.9 m/s² :

      85/4.9  s²  =  T²

Square root each side:

      T  =  √(85/4.9)  seconds

          =      4.165 seconds .

A rocket is moving at 1/4 the speed of light relative to Earth. At the center of this rocket a light suddenly flashes. To an obs
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

B. the light will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.

Explanation:

To an observer at rest in the rocket who can't see either sides of the rocket, the speed of the light is constant which means the distance to the front or the back is same and would appear to reach the rocket at the same time.

Although from the point of view of the person on the earth, the front of the rocket is travelling in opposite direction of the light while the back of the rocket is moving closer to the light. This means that the distance travelled by the light going forward will be longer going backwards. And since the speed of light is constant in both directions, the light will reach the back of the rocket before it reaches the front  for the observer on the earth.

A parallel beam of light in air makes an angle of 43.5 ∘ with the surface of a glass plate having a refractive index of 1.68. Yo
aniked [119]

Answer:

a) 46.5º  b) 64.4º

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will use the laws of geometric optics

a) For this part we will use the law of reflection that states that the reflected and incident angle are equal

     θ = 43.5º

This angle measured from the surface is

     θ_r = 90 -43.5

     θ_s = 46.5º

b) In this part the law of refraction must be used

     n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂. Sin θ₂

     sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ₁

The index of air refraction is n₁ = 1

The angle is this equation is measured between the vertical line called normal, if the angles are measured with respect to the surface

     θ_s = 90 - θ

     θ_s = 90- 43.5

     θ_s = 46.5º

     sin θ₂ = 1 / 1.68  sin 46.5

     sin θ₂ = 0.4318

     θ₂ = 25.6º

The angle with respect to the surface is

     θ₂_s = 90 - 25.6

     θ₂_s = 64.4º

measured in the fourth quadrant

A flatbed truck is carrying a 20.0 kg crate along a level road. the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the bed
Dahasolnce [82]
<span>3.92 m/s^2 Assuming that the local gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2, then the maximum acceleration that the truck can have is the coefficient of static friction multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration, so 0.4 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.92 m/s^2 If you want the more complicated answer, the normal force that the crate exerts is it's mass times the local gravitational acceleration, so 20.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 196 kg*m/s^2 = 196 N Multiply by the coefficient of static friction, giving 196 N * 0.4 = 78.4 N So we need to apply 78.4 N of force to start the crate moving. Let's divide by the crate's mass 78.4 N / 20.0 kg = 78.4 kg*m/s^2 / 20.0 kg = 3.92 m/s^2 And you get the same result.</span>

goblinko [34]

Answer;

-Sensors

-Sensors are placed on dangerous machinery to detect motion, light, heat, pressure, or another stimulus. Their presence helps protect operators from injury while working on machines.

Explanation;

-Machinery, safety and factory floor sensors and switches help workers become more productive, efficient, and safe.

-Hazardous machines and systems are frequently equipped with safety elements (safety doors) with a locking mechanism to protect the operator. Their function is to prevent hazardous machine functions if the safety door is not closed and locked and to keep the safety door closed and locked until the risk of injury has passed.
